What would that dollar you just made say if you could talk to it?

If you could talk to that dollar (yen, pound, anything that is money and a single coin or piece of paper) what would it say? Where has it been? Where has it traveled? How many people have owned it? How many times has it changed hands? How far has it traveled?
This are things that might be interesting to hear.
Yes I know, super random discussion on my part, but I was working on that challenge to be more responsible and active about answering discussion with "no response" and something someone wrote made me start pondering this. I am not actually sure if what I read into their discussion had a thing to do with their intent, but still an interesting idea is it not?
(I am loving the 'no response challenge' btw. I am actually finding myself challenged to really care, find ways to talk, pushing me outside my comfort zone, and find things that aren't always just easy for me. You followers, I can almost always have an answer for. I "know" you, I wouldn't follow you if I didn't like to read your words.)
So, what is the story behind that dollar? What do you think it could tell you if it could talk? Don't spend me?

@hatley don't let your dollar say a word or 2 . . just spend it before you lose it.

It would probably ask me in a squeaky voice " why an i losing my value?"
, and i would probably answer back " blame it on our government!"

@Jessicalynnt A dollar is not even worth a dollar any more. Probably 33 cents.

I mostly wonder that when someone pays me for loudspeaker work with $100 bills. It it real? Was it made by gangbangers in LA (where some counterfeiting takes place)? Has it been used to pay musicians who make more than I do? With a $1 bill, I just hope that nobody with the flu handled it recently.

@Jessicalynnt I thought of that and wondered if I was being snobby, like only poor people have germs. But I just assume that a $100 bill passes through fewer hands.

I think my coin would say "please wash your sweaty hand and make me freee".
lol I have this coin I saved for like eternity. it's kinda a charm to my wallet. even I ran out everything like rice and stuff and literally couldn't eat. silly I know, but it is my charm.

@Jessicalynnt sorry, I carry only twenties :) but that is what I want him to say even if it is already written "in God we trust". this motto is also written on a one dollar bill, isn't it? Or did you mean the cent or "agora" in Israel. Anyway it would say "don't waste it in one go"

The dollar would probably say....the places I've been, the things I have seen. I've been treasured by a child, spent by a teen on something I couldn't live without, hoarded in my shoe piggy bank where all $1.00 coins languish until I am broke.
